1 Bedroom Cottage in Foster, Bohannon

At Grandview on the Bay, we have two pet-friendly cottages that provide the ultimate for relaxation on Mathews County’s Chesapeake Bay VA: the Crab Shack and the Fish House (VRBO Listing 365572 which is our kid-friendly cottage). We’ve spent over a decade designing and renovating our property Grandview to give guests impeccable access to nature, relaxation and privacy. Located in Mathews County, voted one of the coolest small towns in America the Crab Shack has a maximum occupancy of two persons. As this is a shared property, no additional day or overnight guests are permitted (other than those listed in reservation).
Guests of the Crab Shack and the Fish House share the property amenities with each other and us: two tandem kayaks, swimming pool (in season), five hole mini-golf course with patio area, the pier and floating pier for easy launch of kayaks, and reading and lounge chairs throughout the property. Also each cottage has two private adult bikes and a Weber gas grill available for use. As always, we ask guests to be mindful and courteous within shared spaces.
In May 2011, we finished the construction of the luxurious “Shack” complete with king size bedroom and gourmet kitchen. From your roof top deck, enjoy expansive views of the East River. Watch the sun rise over the water with your morning coffee on your private balcony. Crave relaxation? We’ve got it! Find what suits your vacation style best – swimming in the pool, fishing or crabbing on the pier, kayaking, biking, bird watching, strolling around the coastal landscaped pathways or lounging in chairs located throughout our three acre property.
The Crab Shack was designed for comfort and relaxation. The second level of the Shack contains your bedroom with a king size bed as well as a living room area with comfortable sofa to sink into while enjoying the large screen flat panel tv, featuring satellite tv. Cottage has wifi. Bathroom is located on the 1st floor. Love to cook? Master Chef Karla designed the Shack’s gourmet kitchen with cooks in mind. Step outside and you'll find your Weber gas grill to grill up something delicious. Think swings are just for kids or the outdoors? We’re big kids at heart and couldn’t resist adding a swing to the downstairs living area. Hop into the swing and soak in the view, watching the tide roll away. Looking to create your own sunset celebration? Grab a drink and head up to Crow's Nest, our rooftop deck with stunning views of the East River and kick back at our LL Bean bistro table topside or stretch out in the lounge chairs.
What would vacation be without swimming! Refresh yourself at our swimming pool with bar area, double hammock swing, loungers, rocking chairs, dining table. Can’t get enough of the water view then try your hand at good ole fashioned crabbing with chicken legs and strings on the pier or relax in the Adirondack chairs while the crab pots do the work for you. Quiet time abounds as well so relax in one of our reading areas or just kick back and rest in the lounge chairs located throughout the property. Bird watchers love viewing dozens of water fowl and bird species including our resident heron, egret and osprey. Stroll around the pathways and neighborhood and enjoy our wildlife and gardens with coastal landscaping. If you want to try an adventure, take our kayaks for a paddle and our bikes for a spin.
If you want some sand in your toes, we are a short drive from Haven Beach and Bethel Beach in Mathews with great birding, shell gathering, strolling. If you’re looking for a day trip, we are an hour away from Colonial Williamsburg & Busch Gardens, Yorktown and horse racing at Colonial Downs. We are centrally located between Virginia Beach and Washington DC and a mere 90 minutes from Richmond.
While smoking is not permitted in the cottage, guests are permitted to smoke outdoors in approved areas. Spend less time packing and more time playing! At Grandview, we provide many items that other rentals make you bring or rent. Let us know how we can make your time in Mathews County GRAND!

Summary: I cannot say enough about this place. The view, the sounds of nature, the peace and quiet, the pool, the rooftop lounge chairs, the birds - it all coalesced into one absolutely perfect weekend. There were so many places to sit and relax and take it all in, from the swingy chair inside to the dock to the poolside lounge chairs . My dog loved walking around the trees and the lake, and even the smell of the flowers was incredible. I rarely write reviews, but this place was so above and beyond perfect that I felt compelled to!!! They also leave toys and bowls and mats for dogs- which was such a sweet touch!

Summary: We booked the the Crab Shack for three nights just needing to get out of the city and our own four walls during this time of social distancing. It was just what we needed. I admire the little house for how simple and traditional it is (in some ways looks like the original from the photo from 100 years ago) but at the same time so comfortable, with so much outdoor space, decorated in simple good taste, and with everything you could possibly need. Especially liked having access to the kayaks. I wish we had brought our dog!

Summary: We could not have asked for a better long weekend away. The pictures are a true representation of the location and it is gorgeous!! Prior to arriving, the owners were very communicative and helpful. After arriving they continued to be available if needed. A text I sent during our stay was immediately addressed. The house is perfect for a couple. We relaxed and enjoyed the view inside and out via the Crow's Nest on top. The dock is accessible and a perfect way to start the day. The pool is a great place to cool down; we got a lot of use out of it as we stayed during the hottest days of the year so far! There is also a lovely hammock and a fun mini golf course on the property for guest use. The Crabshack house itself is fully stocked, very neat, and has everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay. The guest wifi is very strong and we had no connection issues. We got take out from nearby Matthews, VA two nights and cooked full meals the other two nights. We used the gas grill one evening for a nice meal too! The only thing I could have asked for was more time and maybe slightly cooler temps so we could have enjoyed the canoes on the dock a little more!! Would stay again and would recommend to anyone!

Summary: This was a great spot for a few days away from the city! There were lots of activities to do at the property, but it was also a perfect place to just relax! The house is really well equipped with cooking supplies and we really enjoyed grilling and eating dinner on the beautiful roof deck!

Summary: The house was perfect, the roof deck and overall size of the kitchen and bedroom were great for two people and a dog. The house was very clean and very well stocked with everything you would need and more, we really didn't have to bring anything. The amenities were awesome, note some were shared so its not 'private' amenities, but we never had any issues with other renters and was nice to see other people around. The hosts were extremely nice and made sure everything was always perfect. Would definitely recommend!

Summary: Karla and Dave are UNBELIEVABLY hosts!! The Crab Shack is perfect for a couple and their furry kid. If you are like my husband and I, our lab vacations with us. Karla and Dave has special touches for our furry child with a letter, a toy box, frozen water bowls so when it’s hot outside the water stays cool, dog treats and towels to use to dry off our dog after a swim. The place is extremely clean! For activities, they have crab pots and fishing rods to use, that all you need is to buy bait. The dock had a fish cleaning station, LL Bean Adirondack chairs that can hold your fishing rod so you can sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. I could go on and on about how great the Crab Shack is and once more people find out about this gem, it will be hard to find availability.
